And for breakfast at 9.40 had to wait for 35 minutes to be called by room number. There was hard cheese, ends of bread, waited a further 20 minutes for tea and toast. Awful!

I preferred my 1st visit last Nov. Hotel -stunning location. Entrance hallway was beautifully decorated. quick check in but when got to room our keys wouldnt work. A cleaner kindly let us in. I tried to call recept to ask Concierge to bring us new keys but the phone did not work. We had our dog stay with us which was great but i felt that our room had a " dog" smell when we entered the room. Couldn't open windows. Some of the decor of the room looked a little grubby (e.g door frame in bathroom, chipped paint , a lamp that didnt plug in). Wasnt impressed for being a 5 star hotel. Delighted we can bring our dog but do feel hygiene standards need to be at highest. There was hair pins lying on my floor from a previous guest. Bathrooms at recept were disgusting and not cleaned all evening. Bin was over flowing by end of night. We had a lovely evening in the bar - fantastic singer. Thankfully had read reviews about the service charge added to all drinks bills. Paid £24 for 2 gins to then get a bill for £26.40. I went to bar myself for rest of night. Tips should be at customers discretion. Got a dirty glass at one point. When i asked for another glass the bar man just lifted the drink and threw it down the sink. He couldnt find another glass as they were all dirty so offered me an alternative then looked annoyed i asked for fruit. not 5* standards. Breakfast was just ok,cooked breakfast not great and we were put in drawing room without being asked. Didnt have same feel.

Amazing Weekend Break
It was our first time in the part of Ireland and we had a wonderful stay, we really couldn't have asked for more. Unfortunately we missed the option of getting a sea view but I believe we could have selected this if we spotted the follow up email but apart from the we had a stay that will live long in our memory.

We didn’t like that the room was very small! Four steps to the bed from the door! The hotel was very, very warm and the windows only opened an inch. There was no bath and only one bathrobe in the room. The bathroom wasn’t very clean either. The hairdryer in the room had poor performance and there was only one socket at the door for to plug it in, Overall are stay was average at best! Very unimpressed for a 5 star hotel!

We stayed here as a family with our small baby for our wedding anniversary for 3 nights. As a 5 star hotel you expect top class luxury but I think the days of that are gone. The staff were so inexperienced. I know everyone has to start somewhere but there is a lack of training from reception to bar/restaurant staff. Our room was nice but lighting poor for doing hair etc. no coffee or tea in room and the door was ate which looked like teeth marks and carpet torn obviously from the hotel being dog friendly so left the room looking grubby. The bar for food and drink was expensive and there was no atmosphere. The Saturday night there was entertainment and it was poor to say the least. We’ve stayed in better 3 star hotels for a fraction of the price as here is very expensive. Only thing I will rate is the leisure facilities and a big shout out to Ciara who done my massage in the spa. Such a lady and fantastic at her job.

On the corridors running between the Bedrooms, the fitted carpets kept the areas very quiet, so was not troubled in the night. All the staff were always polite and well prepared to answer any matters raised. We have used the Hotel many times over the years, the basic quality has always been excellent, as it was this time under the new management. We will come again.

Lovely staff, nice environment. Spa felt like a leisure centre, over crowded and no towels provided. Rooms lovely and comfy but had two cold-luke warm showers. Staff helpful and friendly. Overall, nice enough place but would not go back or recommend as a 5*. More like 3.5 or 4 and therefore overpriced.
